Clock mainspring winder

Recommended Posts

I bought this clock mainspring winder the other day from ebay. It is the same type that I had years ago. With this tool you can remove the smallest hole end springs right up to the large fusse clock springs with causing any damage to the barrels. The picture is the one I bought.

 

If anyone is interested in this. There is another, which is complete up for auction. This is the link.

I only have three in my home; two are Elliott 8 day timepieces. The other is a French strike on a bell. That one keeps stopping. That is the one I will at some point of time repair. I still need to get some more tools. I wish now I had not sold those years ago. When I start I’ll let you know.
